Tim McGraw's 'Do You Want Fries with That?' was quite a funny music vid...I've always had a soft spot for Willie Nelson...worked as a country music radio broadcaster for five years but must admit the country music of late has been a bit too mainstream. The Dixie Chicks have been one of the better things that has happened to country in this decade.

Met her back in the day. Lush played in Toronto at a small venue called The Opera House. They were part of a six band show and they went on first. After they just hung at at the bar to listen to the other acts. Nobody knew who they were then. The whole band were good people. Friendly, chatty, nice bunch and yes she is fiiiiine.

Wow, Gram Parsons...Dinosaur Jr...and by Lush do you mean Miki Berenyi et al? Some good music on the Raoul's gramophone obviously. right now I am listening to Rilo Kiley who i just heard about and Neil Young as always.

I have been listening to a superb band called the Black Heart Procession, whose recent album, the Spell, is like a cross between Afghan Whigs, God Machine and Arcade Fire. I can't recommend it highly enough.
